This is my first ever post of my rig and what I have done to it (Nostalgia 2.0) even though I never made an original build-log of my system so here goes and hope you guys like it.
All comments are appreciated.
Here is most of the update gear going into the rig.
Everyone who builds/fixes PCs should have this in their arsenal. My goodness was this thing powerful.
Upgrading all the radiator fans.
This thing is a beauty.
Since they had sent me the wrong tubing and had to wait till the other week for the shipping to come in, I than decided to put the new table together and the screens.
Time to clean up a bit.
Now time to clean up the loop. I was a little worried with the CPU block but was told that these colors are from oxidation (I think I spelled it right) and shouldn't worry too much as long as the fins are cleaned and clear from debris which they were.
A little pump cleaning even though once I opened them up they pretty much look good as new.
After cleaning the pumps I than proceeded to install the pumps to the new Reservoir. They fit like a glove and looks just right. The compression fittings and QDCs were all part of the cleaning process as well.
Installed the Black Ice GT Stealth 120.1 in the back along with the Black Ice SR-1 120.3 up top. Shortly after that I started the leak testing phase.
Added some Dead Water + Silver Coil and let it run for hours.
Reason why we do leak tests as I found the culprit of the leak.
I had put too much weight (flow sensor, temp sensor) on the OUT which is the bottom tubing in the picture. Once I repositioned those 2 and just had the compression fitting there. Finally the leak had stopped but still ran tests for hours regardless.
Preping up the PSU for installation.
The infamous cable management. My second worst enemy. (leaks being the first XD) As you can see my strength isn't in cable management but did my best.
"She's Alive!!!"
Posting on Overclockers.com + folding and monitoring the rig.
Thank you to all who have helped me out in the past and answered my questions I may had.
Most of the gear in this build are updated in my signature.
